Improves documentation
* Describes better available source tree sharing method (between
xds-agent and xds-server), and which to prefer depending on the
deployment setup.
* Gives indication about how to pass RSYNC_TARGET and RSYNC_PREFIX
env vars to the helloworld-native-application build process.
* Swap chapter order (build before config)
